Authorities' description of six men charged with plotting an attack on Fort Dix as "Islamic militants" is renewing worry among New Jersey's Muslims. Authorities rounded up and detained hundreds of Muslim men from New Jersey in the months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but none was connected to that plot. Now Muslims fear a resurgence of anti-Islamic sentiment and bias.
"If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law," said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer who represented scores of detainees after the 2001 attacks. "But when the government says 'Islamic militants,' it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous. Don't equate actions with religion."

 The "government" doesn't have to "send a message" you idiot muslime!
Your muslime religion satanic cult of murder is doing a fine job of that without any help from anybody or any government.
When your religion Cult ceases terrorist actions then you may tell me your opinion.
Meanwhile....
Put it where the sun don't shine and....
STFU!

The Moose Limbs had 6 Months to mount out an all Moos limb Brigade to defend America... They failed to do it and now it is too late.. The majority are merely sitting on the sidelines cheering as Americans are killed and waiting in accordance with their Islamic Teachings until and if they become strong enough to destroy the Christian Nation of the United States...
Too late for the Moose limbs. As a community they will never be American’s now.

Backlashing New Jersey Muslims? Works for me. How about on the State House steps in Trenton.
